STOP. You aren’t a machine. You shouldn’t be running yourself ragged. Your mind, body and of course your clients won’t thank you for it. BREATHE.
Lesson 4: Value What You Do
This has been a big learning curve over the last few years. As the business has evolved and I have explored a few career paths, I now know what my passion is, helping like-minded small businesses to discover their magic, giving them the tools, confidence and vision to do what they love and be authentic to themselves.
Lesson 3: Be Yourself – Don’t be pressured
With the world of social media, you feel you have to be out there, doing lives all the time, shouting about your services, fast paced, making the 6 figure sales. But what about those of us, that can’t do that. I think it is more important to be ourselves, being confident more each day in our own way.

This may sound strange, but it really is important. Being self-employed, you must learn how to run a business right from the start, there isn’t a manual on how everyone should do it.

It makes us stronger and able to get focused on what is important to us and our business.
